Coffee

Coffee has a significant impact on the economies of over forty producing countries. In value it is second to oil in terms of international trade, and surpasses sugar, rice and wheat as the major agricultural commodity. Invisible earnings from coffee exports are twice those gained from rubber and four times those from cocoa and tea. over 20 million people are employed in growing, distributing and retailing coffee worldwide.

To successfully meet and service the huge global market that exists for this produce requires highly specialised machinery. McKinnon design and build this machinery to handle all the processes, to meet all the needs.  Our coffee-processing machines, for example, take care of everything from the cherry to the green bean.
